Ultra-Thin Imagers
In Part 2 of Engineering TV's interview with Eric Tremblay, researcher at the UCSD Jacobs School of Engineering, Eric discusses the Montage, a new camera design derived from a "slice" of the original full aperture symmetric lens, which features a much greater depth of field and a USB interface, all in a package about the size of a domino. "This type of miniature camera is very promising...
Origami Optics
Most camera lenses refract light, leading to the familiar cylindrical tube geometry. In some cases, where extended focal length or reduced track length are required, concentric mirrors can be used to effectively reduce barrel length. Recent advances in diamond machining and image processing make it possible to take this approach to a new extreme. With up to 8 reflections, large ray angles, and...
PT-50 Turboshaft Engine
The Turbine Technologies PT-50 turboshaft engine offers a new heavy fuel solution for UAV’s requiring a 50 HP class engine. With its minimal volume and a complete flight ready weight of only 30.6 pounds, the engine exhibits excellent power density. The free power turbine design entails three primary sections: a gasifier core, an accessory section and a power module. The gasifier core contains a...
